Looks great and is a credit to you and your team.

I have just downloaded the A-7 mod which is great but I have a couple of issues. Firstly I can only use the A-7E2 since I don't own the A-10A and in this aircraft I don't seem able to turned on the sensor (Shkval) and have checked the key bindings. Secondly when I operate the gear, the internal textures are missing. Are these both known bugs?

I would also love a Lynx or a Wessex on a Wasp. I would really like to see a retro vintage helicopter such as the sycamore!

Hi Pâte, How is build and texturing coming along, any juicy cockpit pictures available? Jacks

Sadly Doppler probably needs adding to that list!

I have seen that the KA-50, SU-25T and SU-27 are equipped with the KMGU sub-munitions dispenser which in real life can deploy AP and AT mines. Is this possible in DCS with any of these aircraft? I like the idea of being able to deny routes and LZs in multiplayer! Jacks

Wow, very impressive!

Pat, thanks for the reply. Will the distance to target be in nm or km? I wish ED would add an option to change the F10 map into km. I hope someone models some tactical fuel trucks and camouflage netting so we can setup some very tactical looking refuel points on the edge of treelines.

Cib, I saw that the other but don't think it works in 1.5 due to how messages are displayed. I would love ASW as well but Guess ED would have to model many new features for it to work correctly :(

Are BST planning on adding working mine pods to the Mi-8? This would be a great addition to DCS as the Mi-8 could be used in large scale multiplayer to deny the enemy Landing spots and key features. Really hope to see this someday. Jacks

That is how we in the 42nd VFG are planning on using it. We are putting together a JTAC training package, but it would be great to know what systems and features the gazelle will ha e to help us do this such as buddy lase or providing target MGRS. Jacks

Thanks cilli, I saw that but I am more interested in multiplayer so passing a 9-liner to human players flying the A-10s. I would like to know if the gazelle can bused to accurately find the grid reference or lat and long of targets.

Would love to some scatmin in DCS and laying obstacles would be a great capability. Hope this makes it to fruition........

My virtual squadron is planning on using the gazelle as a recce tool and using it as an aerial JTAC with the co-pilot sending 9-liners over TS. I know that the SA-342M is not laser equipped and so cannot buddy lase but does the viviane system have the ability to give an accurate grid reference for the point that the optics are looking at? Sorry if this has been asked before! Jacks

Don't know as I haven't actually had a chance to play them. But it loaded up for me. Since the campaign also exist in the 1.5 I guess it should be fine. Surely it will continue the campaigns by loading the new missions from the 1.5 Beta file which I though put had all the campaign missions updated for 1.5 so the triggers work.

Cribob's, thanks for the reply, I will play around with it tonight. Is there no way to get the pickzone trigger to move with the ship using the unit inside a moving zone trigger?

Baltic Dragon, I will give this a try, have SU-25Ts been included b the mission?

Cribob can I use your script to pick troops up from ships and drop them anywhere on the map or do I need to have an infantry unit inside the pickzone? Thanks again for this script, Jacks

shame about the ships and supporting vehicles.

That frigates looks incredible. Very well done. We need more ships as the maritime side of dcs is lacking. If only dcs made it possible to control ships using CA...........

Money is ready and waiting for this module. I have been holding off buying the mirage in case the gazelle was released early. Great to see they are planning more versions and hopefully we will see a British army version in the future! For me the gazelle is primarily a recce aircraft instead of an A2G machine and so great to hear that it has NVGs. I also hope the Polychop can include the JTAC function from the left seat so the gazelle can become the first real aerial JTAC.

After weeks of trying to work it out, I have managed to move my campaign progress it 1.5 OB. This is how I did it: In 1.5 OB, restart all of the campaigns that you have done 1.2 and start the first mission, after spending a few seconds in the mission exit. Once this has been down for all of your campaigns, close DCS and go your two logbook.luas (one for 1.2 and one for 1.5 OB) which are stored in the mission editor files in your saved games folder. From the 1.2 lua, copy all of the entries for each of the campaigns and paste them over the new campaigns that you have started in the 1.5 OB lua. Make sure that you change the numbers of the game entries to match the 1.5 lua before you started editing. Once this is complete, save the document and restart DCS. You should have all of your campaign progress back. Jacks

I will try this tonight. AlphaOneSix, I for one would appreciate separate threads on the fire extinguisher and governing systems.

Hi cib, I have the weapons circuits up but still no signal flares using the panel behind the pilots head. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply. With respect to the fire extinguisher, I understand how to set off each of the extinguisher units but when I turn the radial switch on the test panel, this also sets off the extinguishers. For the governor control panel, I am interested to know what each switch does and when I may need to use them, and symptoms of an auto governor failure. Later I will see if I can get the horn and signal flare dispenser working. Jacks
